Good afternoon. Boeing’s woes continued today with United Airlines saying it found loose bolts and other “installation issues” on multiple 737 Max 9 aircraft – the model that has been grounded in the US after a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines-operated plane mid-flight on the weekend.
Boeing shares sank 8% yesterday as the company grapples with the negative publicity. The grounding is unlikely to have a major impact on Australian skies, with no Australian airline possessing the Max 9 aircraft.
